Lyrics
Verse 1
Johnny saw his heart as shattered glass. He was walking in darkness. Johnny was a boy without a past. He was walking in emptiness.
chorus
Ewww, what did Johnny do? He was walking in darkness/a walking time bomb. Ewww what did Johnny do? We were only waiting for him to go off.
Verse 2
Johnny was a book that never been read. He was lonely as a mountain top. Johnny had a nickname on the Web. They were calling him 'The Darkness'.
chorus
Verse 3
Johnny met a girl in a chat room. He brought a fever and a hand gun. Took her in the woods behind the school. He exploded in the darkness.
